Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 8) A chapter we can safely describe as 'lesser Bruce' as one too many automobile based interventions hinder Steve (and arguably the plots) momentum to both solve the mystery of Old Sam and prepare for the upcoming match under the floodlights. But we do enjoy the return of an old 'friend' who we thought we'd seen the last of... Thanks, Chris, Josh and Michael Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We do however learn a lot more about the dynamic of Steve Barnes marriage and their Sunday newspaper consumption habits, his contempt for those who dwell on the past, and we meet the enigmatic Mr Smith who may or may not have Thanks, Chris, Josh and Michael Learn more about your ad choices.

This Month in the 90's - December 1999 In this episode we look back at the last month of this glorious decade - December 1999. Leeds United top the table. Travis and 'The Man Who...' dominate the charts. Ginola gets goal of the month. And crucially, we speculate on whether Chelsea FC was a secret sanctuary for diminutive players...

Yes, you read it right. Somehow Chris has managed to convince us to watch and then talk about the WWF event 'Summerslam 92' (and the spectacle of wrestling in general) and it's safe to say we don't always share his enthusiasm. On top of that we've got some more great 90's football correspondence including an update on the Hereford Bull, and a Quantum leap style discussion about what would happen when one result from history has changed and the impact it would then have had on Big Sam Allardyce...

Includes one of the most boring pieces of archive footage since Paul Stewart told his infamous anecdote, and a deep dive into the origins and variations of Shilton's hair. It's a fascinating insight into a man who made his debut professional BEFORE the 1966 World Cup Final and was still failing to dive for penalties as late as 1997!!!! Were we wrong about his legacy?

Chapter 13: Striker! by Steve Bruce The boys are once again joined by QK legend Ivo Graham to forensically examine Steve Bruce's 'Striker' in the chapter by chapter deep dive format. This month - Chapter 13 It's the final countdown. The match against Fulton is finally here. The killer is still on the loose. Leddersford don't have a recognised striker. As Bruce / Barnes ties things up in the messiest of literary bows the plot moves at a terrifying pace (and at times an illogical one) in this final chapter of the literary masterpiece.
